It was in the pathologic laboratory of the Bengal 

 Medical College that I was given an opportunity to ex- 

 amine a new parasite, the Piroplasma donovani, 

 through the courtesy of the director of the laboratory, 

 Capt. Seward Sogers, I.M.S. He was also kind enough 

 to furnish me with several mounted slides containing 

 this parasite so recently discovered by Leishman and 

 Donovan. In another place I will give a more de- 

 tailed account of this parasite, history of its discovery 

 and etiologic relationship to splenic anemia. Medical 

 science is much indebted to the researches of the mem- 

 bers of this corps, many of whom are indefatigable 

 workers in a climate well calculated to undermine phy- 

 sical strength and paralyze mental activity.
